Sean Wallner - WSET II

Opened this about 3-4 days ago and it really became approachable on the 2nd/3rd day. Will do well with some more time. Notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, spice and forest floor. I asked my 2 year old son what it smells like and his answer was "I don't know, sausage!" lol!!

Firm acidity and less fruit and minerality than the 11 and 12 vintages. #EtnaRosso #SicilianWines

More akin to a really hot vintage Cote du Rhone then what I look for in Nerello.

Bright red fruits, violets and mineral feel with light dusty tannins. Ripping acidity - needs food. Bit thin

80 Nerello mascalese 20 cappuccio. Red berries, volcanic ash, mineral, touch of sweet spice. Many years still ahead. Still young in my opinion.

Gran Gusto tasting dinner. Paccheri Ripieni stuffed with ricotta in salsa Norma (tomato and eggplant). Wow! Lightly oaked.

Nez discret. Attaque riche mais pas de longueur ensuite.
